UTP SIFE team roaring their one spirit on !
By Mostafa Mansour, EE Yr. 2 Sem. 1PETROBOTS is the society in UTP that involves robotics and each year, itrepresents UTP in two robotic competitions: EUROBOTS and ABU ROBOCON.This year, PETROBOTS won the third place in the national Malaysian ABUROBOCON competition. The HOT team met two of the PETROBOTS seniors,Mokgatla Abram and Ag Shahrin Afwan (a.k.a. Awang), to share a little bit aboutPETROBOTS and how joining it affected their lives. They are final year EEstudents and they have been working hard to bring PETROBOTS to scale greater heights.
In this year‟s EUROBOTS competition, Awang said that although they did notwin, they were glad to be able to share their past experiences with their juniors.According to them, being part of PETROBOTS has brought lots of benefits. It prepared them to be well
-
rounded graduates. Through PETROBOTS, they learnedthe ways to approach their projects and troubleshoot the problems whichoccurred. Moreover, it improved communication skills, encouraged team work and it trained them to work under pressure. Lastly, it gave them a sense of belonging to UTP.
Many UTP students are worried that by participating in PETROBOTS will affecttheir studies. However, our interviewees feel that it gives them an opportunity toenhance time management skills and understand the practicalities of what theylearn in theory. This is an advantage, according to them, as they learn the theoryin class and get to apply it in practice through PETROBOTS. As they said,“Anything you do can affect your study.”
They hope to be the champion of PETROBOTS as they could see the potential.However, in Mokgatla‟s words “Potential needs hard work to achieve what youwant to achieve.” So they are hoping that within the next two years,PETROBOTS can emerge champions of ROBOCON. This requires support fromeveryone and requires “a strong mentality to never give up” as expressed byAwang.
Lastly, they advised their PETROBOTS juniors to play their part and to give back to PETROBOTS and UTP. As for UTP students in general, they said“PETROBOTS is for UTP and its students”, and urged for continuous support.
